4.5 Using Guile in Emacs

Any text editor can edit Scheme, but some are better than others. Emacs
is the best, of course, and not just because it is a fine text editor.
Emacs has good support for Scheme out of the box, with sensible
indentation rules, parenthesis-matching, syntax highlighting, and even a
set of keybindings for structural editing, allowing navigation,
cut-and-paste, and transposition operations that work on balanced
S-expressions.

As good as it is, though, two things will vastly improve your experience
with Emacs and Guile.

The first is Taylor Campbell’s
Paredit. You should not
code in any dialect of Lisp without Paredit. (They say that
unopinionated writing is boring—hence this tone—but it’s the
truth, regardless.) Paredit is the bee’s knees.
